In 1826Michael
Faradayinaugurated
the Christmas Lectures for young people at the Royal
Institution, Albemarle St, London. Apart from a few, the
delivery of which was prevented by WWII, the lectures have been
running ever since.

Actually a series of six talks, the
breadth of interest and the variety of observations and
phenomena which Faraday brings in to the subject remain
astonishing a century and a half later. The note-taking was by
(Sir) William Crookes, co-discoverer of the element Thallium.

Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988),
scientist, teacher, raconteur, and musician. He assisted in the
development of the atomic bomb, expanded the understanding of
quantum electrodynamics, translated Mayan hieroglyphics, and cut
to the heart of the Challenger disaster. But beyond all of
that, Richard Feynman was a unique and multi-faceted individual.

We need to
provide an education that interests our students and gets them
deeply engaged in their own learning, and that teaches all of
our students what they need to be successful in their
21st-century lives.
